5000 Turbo - Regular Unleaded 87 or Super Unleaded 93

Hello All,

The fuel gauge/filler door state 'unleaded fuel only'. With other cars, it states "Premium unleaded fuel only" when Premium is required.

I have run my 5000 on all grades of fuel, and have had no problems with Knocking, pinging, etc.

What is right?

If you feel a change in acceleration you are probably going to the knock map - ease off. __________________ Cheers; Boxerfan Toronto, Ontario CANADA 1983 Ur Quattro.
